Re: Transitioning to LiveCode 9...
Thanks all! I had given up on using find and replace in the IDE many version ago. The performance and assorted glitchy issues just led me to keep a text file with the all my scripts and search that with a text editor and then go open the specific object script in the IDE to change something. With the endorsements of LC9's find and replace and made a back up of the app and gave it a try. You are 100% right, super fast and super accurate! ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Transitioning to LiveCode 9...
Well you will be glad to know the search (and replace) feature has been so vastly improved that what used to take over a minute to search all substacks for, now takes 3 or 4 seconds. The replace function is just as fast. You could search for "the effective label" and replace it with "the label" with I think, complete confidence, in all your scripts all at once. I wouldn't try globally replacing variables beginning with "the" with "t" of course, that would be disastrous. :-) Bob S > On Jul 10, 2018, at 11:20 , Paul Dupuis via use-livecode > wrote: > > In LC6.7.11 you could say 'set the effective label of button X to Y' and > it worked (it essentially ignored the 'effective' keyword and set the > label property).

Use the Find and Replace dialog (Edit menu) and you can change them all with a single click. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On July 10, 2018 1:23:04 PM Paul Dupuis via use-livecode wrote: First, I love all the things added to LiveCode 9 and, while I haven;t had a chance to download 9.0.1 yet, I am sure it (and 9.0.2, etc.) will just keep getting better.

First, I love all the things added to LiveCode 9 and, while I haven;t had a chance to download 9.0.1 yet, I am sure it (and 9.0.2, etc.) will just keep getting better.
